Research Interests

My favorite research topics are related to disorder phenomena in condensed matter in a rather wide sense and comprise fields such as highly frustrated magnetism, spin correlations and excitations, dynamic disorder effects in thermoelectric materials, ferromagnetism in semi-conducters and surface induced order and disorder phenomena.

Currently I am involved in various instrumentation projects and method developments for the Powder and Texture diffractometer POWTEX at FRM-2, the bi-spectral powder diffractometer within the ESS design and update programme, and the single crystal magnetism diffractometer and developments for polarization analysis.

In my role as an instrument scientist at the ESS, I coordinate the instrumentation for single crystal diffraction.
